Vision of Snoop Dogg’s grand final performance leaks
A video has emerged of Snoop Dogg’s grand final performance.
Snoop Dogg’s pre-game Grand Final performance has been leaked.
The US rapper was going through rehearsals on Wednesday night inside Marvel Stadium when footage from a nearby hotel captured what was going on.

With the roof wide open, an individual standing on their balcony zoomed in to show Snoop performing on the makeshift stage surrounded by a host of dancers with a marching band in action on the ground.
“Hey Snoop!️ We can see straight into Marvel Stadium from our accommodation. I heard music blaring, my son and I looked down, and there’s Snoop Dogg,” your_aussiegirl_jj captioned the video posted to TikTok.
The 53-year-old could be seen wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket with an unknown performer in a bright yellow jacket signing along beside him.
While the song is slightly muffled, it does sound distinctly like Beautiful, Snoop’s smash hit with Pharrell Williams.

The rehearsals at Marvel Stadium were spotted by someone in a nearby hotel.
There are conflicting reports about the exact amount the league is handing over for Snoop Dogg’s appearance with some suggesting the fee is around $2 million.
Others have claimed the fee could be as high as $5 million, the same amount reportedly paid to Katy Perry and Robbie Williams in previous years.
The Marvel Stadium rehearsal however was reportedly a last minute demand from the American which wasn’t factored into the AFL’s budget.
News of the Marvel Stadium request began to filter out on Tuesday, shortly after the California native had touched down in Australia.
“There has been a slight budgetary issue with Snoop Dogg’s Grand Final appearance on Saturday,” Ross Stevenson said on 3AW’s Rumour File on Tuesday.
“Because he has demanded that a replica of the stage for Saturday, be built at Marvel Stadium so he can rehearse before Thursday’s rehearsal at the MCG.”
The American will reportedly share the stage on Saturday with a host of Australian artists, including Baker Boy, Tash Sultana, singer Emma Donovan, Naarm-based artist Kee’ahn, and Grand Final regular Mike Brady.

After landing in Melbourne he quickly made his way to the MCG where he showed he has what it takes with the footy in hand.
The ‘D.O Double G’ wowed Collingwood stars Nick and Josh Daicos at the MCG after slotting not one, but two goals.
Footy larrikin Dan Gorringe loved what he was seeing and called for Essendon to sign him up and drop him in as the club’s new full forward.
“You’re telling me Snoop Dogg has never touched a footy before and he’s just launching them from forty (metres)? Like it’s nothing? His first kick ever,” Gorringe said in a clip shared on his “dandoesfooty” Instagram page.
